Calling
These advanced calling features are the heart of your Ooma Premier subscription. We've designed them to help you make the most of your Ooma telephone by seamlessly expanding your service to places no home phone has ever gone before.

Enhanced Caller-IDBasic caller-ID gives you the incoming phone number and any information you've saved in your Contact List, which is ideal for calls from friends and family. When you receive incoming calls from numbers you don't know, however, our enhanced caller-ID can be a real life saver! We'll look up incoming phone calls in a national caller-ID database so you can always tell who's calling. Learn more. |

Enhanced Call WaitingIf you've ever experienced the frustration of waiting on a call while someone else is on the phone, then Enhanced Call Waiting is the answer you've been waiting for. When the phone is in use and a second call comes in, the person on the phone will still hear the beep -- but all of the other Ooma phones will ring as well. Learn more. |

Instant Second Line™In a busy household, all too often you find that two people want to use the phone at the same time. Eliminate those squabbles with the Instant Second Line. Whether it's an incoming call or an outgoing one, the Instant Second Line lets two people be on two different phone calls at once -- all without needing a second phone number. Learn more. |

Call ScreeningWhen you're busy, you need to be selective about which calls you take.

Personal BlacklistOoma can protect you from the people you don't want to talk to. Review your call logs in My Ooma and decide whether you want to add numbers to your blacklist. Calls from numbers on your blacklist will be diverted the next time they try to reach you so your phone will never ring. You have the option to block them completely, send them straight to voicemail, or play a pre-recorded message. The choice is yours. Learn more. |

Community BlacklistHarness the power of the Ooma community and protect yourself from unwanted callers before they've tried to call you. As other Ooma customers add phone numbers to their blacklists, we look for trends and add the worst culprits to our community blacklist. Combined with our algorithms for automatically detecting auto-dialers, spam calls will be blocked before they ever reach your phone! Learn more. |

Anonymous Call BlockingIf you're not interested in hearing from people who won't share their identities, then Ooma will help protect you. You choose whether anonymous callers are automatically diverted to voicemail, or to a message that tells them you'll only accept their call if they'll tell you who they are. Learn more. |
Mobility
You don't spend all of your time at home, so why should your home phone? Many of our Ooma Premier features have been designed to keep you in touch with your home phone, even while you're on the go.

Call ForwardingIf you know you'll be away, you'll no longer need to worry about missing important calls.
